Athletes tackle gruelling multi-ascent Grouse Grind challenge for charity
Athletes took on the annual multi-Grouse Grind challenge to raise funds for North Shore Rescue Friday. Athletes took on the annual multi-Grouse Grind challenge to raise funds for North Shore Rescue Friday. Dozens of athletes pushed their limits on North Vancouver's Grouse Grind Friday, attempting to complete the steep trail as many times as possible in a single day. It is a grueling physical and mental test that also raises funds for North Shore Rescue. The annual Multi-Grouse Grind Challenge is held on the longest day of the year, giving climbers the chance to tackle 'Mother Nature's Stairmaster' from dawn until dusk. Each climb means 2,830 stairs and 800 metres of elevation. The strongest participants repeat it over and over. The all-time record stands at 19 ascents in one day, which was set in 2019. Damien Waugh, a North Shore Rescue volunteer, is among the few chasing that mark, calling the challenge 'an awesome fundraiser for the rescue.' Sixty-six-year-old Robert Podeur is aiming for 16 climbs, a potential record in his age category, and had already completed six by 10 a.m. Some competitors added extra flair to their grinds. One hiker climbed barefoot while dressed as Barney the dinosaur. Another carried her six-month-old daughter in a front pack, saying the child happily naps along the way. Since its launch in 2023, the event has raised over $100,000 for North Shore Rescue, a volunteer team that responds to emergencies in B.C.'s rugged backcountry. This year's competitors also had a small advantage. Grouse Mountain's new gondola system shaved time off descents. 'Even if it saves 20 minutes, that could give them the chance to do one more grind,' said Adam Rootman, Grouse Mountain's director of events. The final ascent must be started before 10 p.m.
